This simple vegan Bang Bang Tempeh Bowl<\/strong> is colorful, fresh and full of good ingredients: crunchy vegetables, savory tempeh, edamame, rice and a creamy, spicy Bang Bang sauce. Thanks to tempeh, edamame and brown rice, it is not only incredibly delicious but also nutrient-rich, high in protein and wonderfully satisfying.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tempeh and my husband had \u2013 let\u2019s say \u2013 a complicated relationship for a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I have always loved tempeh, he could never warm up to its nutty, slightly tangy note. Time and again I tried to win him over: marinated and pan-fried in a kale-orange salad<\/a>, as tempeh bacon, or hidden in curries. With moderate success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then came this bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pan-fried tempeh, a creamy vegan Bang Bang sauce and crunchy, fresh vegetables on the side. <\/strong>After just the first few bites it was clear: this tempeh recipe achieved what so many others had failed to do. My husband is now officially Team Tempeh. And if you\u2019re still among the doubters, just give it a try!<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

    Ingredient Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The highlight of this veggie tempeh bowl is definitely the vegan Bang Bang sauce \u2013 a creamy, sweet-and-spicy sauce that comes from American-Asian fusion cuisine and is made from mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha and, optionally, lime juice or rice vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
